Chapter 183: Here's what you say

Pressed to the deepest part of his heart, the secret of more than ten years surged into his heart, making his face unable to help but a trace of panic and fear that was deeply rooted in his bones.

This pale flashed away, but it was as clear as the fire in Li Chen's eyes.

He said calmly: "The wailing of tens of thousands of border military souls and the screams of tens of thousands of people linger in the sky of the empire day and night. If this case is not solved, it is difficult to comfort the dead in the sky."

Duan Jinjiang's face was pale. The more he heard it, the more he felt that Li Chen had some meaning. It seemed that every word was like a knife, trying to cut open his chest and see the secrets that he could never tell people in the deepest part of his heart.

He was so dry that he said in shock: "Your Highness, this case is of great importance. If the investigation is to be restarted, do you need to discuss it with the cabinet?"

Li Chen said calmly: "Mr. Duan, aren't you a member of the cabinet?"

Duan Jinjiang was stunned and looked up at Li Chen in surprise.

The latter's smile made him understand instantly.

The causes and consequences were connected together, from detaining his son to the Dongchang Edict Prison to waiting for him to come for "negotiation" in the East Palace, everything the prince did was actually to restart the investigation of the Yumen Pass tragedy.

As the introduction, the prince asked him to come to the Eastern Palace on his own initiative, which was self-evident.

Either die your son or support him in the cabinet.

Duan Jinjiang's lips trembled.

His eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Li Chen.

It is not surprising that such a method was made by the Emperor Daxing, but it was done by the prince!

The prince is only in his early twenties now, but his cunning and decisive skills are unheard of, just like an old fox who has been tempered in the officialdom for decades.

He was cautious in his heart, Duan Jinjiang tried hard to find a reasonable reason to shirk his grudge, and he said with difficulty: "Your Highness, even if the old minister supports the restart of the investigation, in addition to the old minister, there are Fu Yuzhi and Zhang Biwu in the cabinet, but these two may not agree. With the prime minister, there is still no chance of winning in this way."

"Fu Yuzhi is a fellow townsman of Zhao Xuanji. He is the same Jinshi as Zhao Xuanji. However, Zhao Xuanji was the top scorer at that time and Fu Yuzhi was the second place. The two have been allies to each other for many years and have an offensive and defensive alliance. If it is other things, it is certainly difficult to handle, but if we want to restart the investigation of the Yumen Pass tragedy, Fu Yuzhi must agree."

Li Chen's eyes fell on Duan Jinjiang and said lightly: "Fu Yuzhi has no children. She is the only daughter. She married the son of Pei Dongjun, the commander of Ganzhou and Shaanxi three years ago. Pei Dongjun has three sons. His eldest son and second son were both killed in the Yumen Pass tragedy that year. Even Pei Dongjun himself was blinded by arrows in that battle."

"When the tragedy broke out, Pei Dongjun was a thousand border guards in Yumen Pass. Later, he survived. He once reported to his father that he would like to guard Yumen Pass for life and not avenge this. Pei's family will never leave Yumen forever. His father was grateful for his sincerity and appointed him as the deputy commander of the border guards. After many years, he has been promoted with his achievements and has now served as the commander of Gansu and Shaanxi."

Duan Jinjiang's mouth was shaking. He wanted to refute Li Chen's words, but when he spoke, he found that it was indeed the case.

He became more and more shocked. The prince had already planned this inseparable relationship and was just waiting for himself to be arrested.

"Although Fu Yuzhi and Zhao Xuanji were the imperial examinations of the same year, he had already taken the imperial examinations for two sessions before that, and he was much older than Zhao Xuanji. Now he is already 63 years old, and he has long been thinking of returning to the court and the country."

"To his current status, Zhao Xuanji is suppressed. The two have been in alliance for more than ten years, and their interests are mixed. Even if they rebel, the price is too high. He is old and can no longer struggle. He has no children, but only a daughter can rely on. At the critical moment when he is about to retire, if he does not give his daughter a huge favor in his husband's house, and waits for him to retire to the mountains and forests, how can he ensure the status of his only daughter in his husband's house?"

After saying something, Li Chen said lazily: "Okay, this is all about my words. Let's leave or stay. Lord Duan give you a correct word."
